A thoughtful combination of textural layers and luxurious design elements makes this light-filled home, nestled in the tree-lined streets of Melbourne’s Malvern, a warm and inviting haven for a family of five. Designed for cosy gatherings and connecting with the outdoors, welcoming spaces embrace wabi-sabi and an uplifting colour palette that is both modern and playful. Interior: @studiotate I Photography: @smartanson Interior: @studiotate I Photography: @smartanson Studio Tate worked closely with architects Lovell Burton and Amanda Oliver Gardens on the home’s L-shaped design, which extends to a lush garden and courtyard, while internal spaces, including a sunken lounge area, offer views of the leafy surrounds. Terraced floor levels seamlessly transition from high-traffic family areas to serene private spaces, with decorative lighting and bespoke finishes elevating everyday living.  Interior: @studiotate I Photography: @smartanson Drawing on the Japanese philosophy of wabi-sabi, the design team combined mid-century touches with contemporary craftsmanship for a timeless and sophisticated interior scheme that celebrates beauty in imperfection. Custom furnishings and joinery are juxtaposed with metals that will develop an aged, characterful patina, as rich tactility is further accentuated by stonework and handcrafted tiles in the kitchen and bathroom. Interior: @studiotate I Photography: @smartanson Interior: @studiotate I Photography: @smartanson On the upper level, the same playful colour palette – from deep green and powder blue to dusty pink and fresh mint – ensures a cohesive feeling throughout the home. In the blush-toned powder room, soft plastered walls are complemented with Norwegian Rose stone and brass accents, with gentle curves and organic lines creating an atmosphere of luxurious warmth.⁠ Our Kristine Linen Guest Towel in our softened mulberry hue Moro lends a textural touch and aligns beautifully with the home’s artisanal sensibility.

January offers an opportunity to reflect on how our daily habits can lead to a happier and healthier year ahead. While some resolutions require careful consideration and planning, a simple refresh of the space we spend roughly one-third of our lives—our beds—can be achieved instantly with minimal fuss and maximum impact. Flocca Linen Flat Sheets in Petra & Argent, Flocca Linen Duvet in Argent Creating a healthy sleep environment with high-quality bedding should be a priority for wellbeing and comfort heading into the new year. Making a conscious investment in pure linen sheets will also elevate your bedroom with beauty and function, offering enduring elegance, textural appeal, and superior breathability. This durable natural fibre will keep you cool and dry in summer and warm in winter, absorbing as much as 20% of its dry weight before feeling damp to avoid that ‘clammy’ feeling that can interfere with a good night's sleep. Basix Linen Quilt in Ayrton, Flocca Linen Flat Sheet in Ayrton Basix Fitted Sheet in Petra Fitted sheets are subject to more friction than other bedding items, so they are more prone to deterioration if overused and not cared for correctly. We recommend that you alternate your sheets as you would your clothes, with two fitted sheets on rotation to increase their longevity. Consider neutral sets in versatile colourways such as Petra and Argent, both of which will layer effortlessly with your accent cushions and throws. Designed to mix and match with ease, our entire colour palette can be layered up or down for beautiful new combinations every season. Crush Linen Throw in Argent Complement your fresh sheets with timeless, nature-inspired hues recognised for their calming properties, bringing the soothing qualities of the outdoors into your bedroom. Enhance wellbeing by incorporating serene colours such as light sage green into your bedscape to evoke lush gardens and bucolic fields, or layer in earthy clay tones to ground your sleep space and create a haven to nourish and restore as you start the new year.   Flocca Linen Macaron in Mare, Flocca Linen Flat Sheet in Roy, Basix Stripe Pillow in Mare/Bere

Nestled in picturesque Litchfield County, around two hours' drive northeast of New York City, this Cotswold-style estate home blends rich history and craftsmanship with luxurious modern comforts. Revitalized by a father-daughter team through a COVID-era renovation, the elegant residence is a warm nod to European country estate living and a haven for lazing, cooking, reading, and creating memories.  House: @argyll.house I Flowers: @lejardinflowerfarm I Photography: @awmjones Taking its name from family ancestors, Argyll House has been thoughtfully reimagined by soon-to-be-architect Deirdre McMullen. It features a curation of unique art, heirloom textiles and handcrafted furnishings that will stand the test of time. "My dad Robert, my younger sister Beatrice and I purchased the home together during COVID," says Deirdre. "Our dad was navigating a divorce and cancer treatment at the time, and in many ways, this home brought us back together."  While appreciative of her design decisions, Deirdre says he was not too involved at age 77 and still working full-time as a psychiatrist. However, enlisting her close circle of Brooklyn friends, who populated the home for the second half of the pandemic while working remotely, made the design process highly collaborative. "My interior design friend Katie helped Beatrice and I decide on window treatment fabrics, while my friend Adam, who designed the walking trails in the backyard, helped me lay out the art," she says.   House: @argyll.house I Flowers: @lejardinflowerfarm I Photography: @awmjones With a serene, light-filled kitchen, a plush library and six elegant bedrooms, the home is designed for relaxation, recreation, and making memories with loved ones. Outside, a storybook-red barn is encircled by manicured grounds, tranquil patios and terraces, and an inviting saltwater swimming pool, while the broader landscape comprises gently rolling hills, verdant forests, and pristine lakes and ponds. The town of Harwinton itself features architecture mainly dating from the 18th to the early 20th century. The region has a strong farming history, which is celebrated at the annual country fair and through a focus on locally made supplies such as pitchforks, whetstones and barrels. Visitors can enjoy nature preserves for hiking, visit the local cider mill or a quaint cafe, and hunt for treasure in a smattering of antique shops where many of the home's furnishings were sourced.

"Beatrice, a family therapist with great taste, essentially served as my client, as well as a design collaborator when at a crossroads," says Deirdre. "She pushed me to be bold. We’re so delighted with the playful layering of colors, patterns, textures and objects."  House: @argyll.house I Flowers: @lejardinflowerfarm I Photography: @awmjones I Flocca Linen Euro Pillowcase in Floss, Flocca Linen Pillowcase in Petra Throughout the bedrooms, a soothing color palette reflects the natural surroundings, with everything from warm rust and muted gold evoking sunlit autumnal foliage to soft blue and earthy pink mirroring clear spring skies and dusky sunsets. "I played the role of lead designer, creative director and project manager," says Deirdre of the home’s romantic transformation. "But it’s the collaboration with family and friends that made this design process so fulfilling."  Visit the website to find out more or to book your next stay.  

Earthy and inviting, Nordic style takes inspiration from the region's rugged landscape. Textural, natural materials and a soothing, muted palette echo the outdoors, creating a seamless connection between cosy, grounding interiors and the surrounding environment.  Project by Norm Architects I Photography: @jonasbjerrepoulsen The colour palette is simple and monochromatic, leaning heavily towards neutrals. Creamy, sandy hues are layered with soft greys to offer an elegant balance of coolness and warmth, while rich shades of caramel, toffee and chocolate, along with moody charcoal and black melange, add tonal depth and contrast to a light base.  Perspective Studio @perspectivestudio I Photography: @andyliffnerphotography Form and function are entwined for a look of modern simplicity that can be adapted to both contemporary design and classic, old-world interiors. Sumptuous comfort and a rich tactile appeal are key to Scandinavian design, inspired by the Nordic climate and a desire to create a safe haven for the long winters. Clean lines and clutter-free spaces further enhance this feeling of calm and sanctuary.  Studio Oliver Gustav @studioolivergustav I Photography: @ashjamesphotography Copenhagen-based Norm Architects are quintessential Danish design masters, with a warm, pared-back aesthetic that is characteristic of Nordic style. By keeping the design, materials and palette simple, their spaces offer a feeling of tranquillity and retreat that mimics the soothing qualities of nature. Hardwood floors are softened with textural rugs in jute, sisal or wool, while pure linen throws, cushions and accessories offer luxurious accents in all seasons.   Norm Architects @normarchitects I Photoraphy: @jonasbjerrepoulsen Achieve a similar look with our signature pure linen collection, available in a range of timeless hues that are made to layer effortlessly for relaxed, year-round style. Light, sandy Sable and Kali create the ideal foundation for rich, warming tones of Bere, Brun and Carmel, while the muted dark melange of Nox and Rok lend a sophisticated layer. Simplicity is at the centre of Nordic natural style, so keeping the palette minimal is key to achieving this tonal look.  Flocca Linen Duvet in Nox, Flocca Linen Body Cushion in Brun, Flocca Linen Flat Sheet in Cep, Crush Linen Throw in Brun The familiar colours and textures of the natural world that are elemental in Nordic design can be found in the work of Danish artist Oliver Gustav, whose approach to creating quiet yet dramatic spaces results in a look of modern antiquity that balances clean lines and rough surfaces, old and new. Similarly, the work of the Swedish interior design studio Perspective appears at ease in its wintry, rugged setting, evoking the stillness and raw beauty of the Nordic landscape. 

Even if you don't live by the ocean, embracing modern coastal style can bring a feeling of seaside serenity to your home. Both classic and contemporary, this look is adaptable to many interior schemes and architectural styles, from city apartments to country cottages, pairing a fresh, neutral palette with natural materials and rich, textural accents for effortless and inviting spaces.  Basix Linen Stripe Pilow in Mare/Bere, Flocca Linen Pillowcases in Roy, Sable, Kali and Fog Swathes of bright, airy white and light, sandy beige are evocative of wispy clouds and undulating dunes, acting as a versatile base for a modern beach house aesthetic. Layers of tranquil blues and cool greys create a soothing, tonal scheme, while rich, moody charcoal or a mid-toned coastal blue will work to bring the hues of the ocean inside. As a finishing touch, a striped accent in a pillowcase or cushion will lend a subtle nautical nod. Flocca Linen Blanket in Roy Basix Linen Euro Pillowcase in Sable/Roy One of the most beloved modern coastal styles is the quintessential Hamptons look, which classically sees whites and neutrals offset by a feature wall, door or cabinetry in a darker hue. This contrast can be echoed in soft furnishings, with light and airy pure linen bedding layered with a muted blue throw or rich navy pillowcases. A contemporary coastal style, on the other hand, uses colour minimally in a singular hue or two, with both approaches offering breezy, elegant spaces ideally suited to the Australian lifestyle.  Flocca Linen Pillowcase in Bateau & Roy Natural materials are key to all variations of this look, providing textural interest and helping to create a feeling of balance and cohesion. Sisal, jute and pure linen are used as softening elements alongside timber and marble finishes for a look of understated luxury, providing a timeless, neutral backdrop for further tonal layering. The hardwearing qualities of natural materials are also ideal for creating a sense of ease inspired by laidback seaside living.

Big River Retreat @cromwellfarmstaysandgetaways Creating beautiful accommodation that celebrates life outdoors was a natural fit for Greg and Alison Cromwell, who share a passion for regenerating the land and have farming roots that go back many generations. With the help of their three daughters, the couple now manages 16 hectares – and four unique getaways – in the Byron Bay hinterland and Clarence Valley.  When guests are not relaxing in their thoughtfully appointed quarters, the working family farm offers a range of hands-on experiences, including picking produce and interacting with the animals, while all four properties are pet-friendly and encourage visitors to explore the stunning surrounds.  Little River Cottage @cromwellfarmstaysandgetaways We chatted with the couple about the inspiration behind their northern NSW stays  – from countryside to seaside – and how a focus on thoughtful, handcrafted touches has made each one an inviting home away from home. Could you tell us about the origins of Cromwell Farms? Alison: Cromwell Farms began over twenty years ago when we bought a 16-hectare block in Goonengerry, NSW. Starting simply with a few chooks, it now comprises two ever-changing individual farm properties in Goonengerry and Glenugie, NSW, a herd of Dexter cattle, heritage breed pigs and chickens, horses and kelpies – plus a citrus orchard, fruit trees and a market garden.  With the help of our three daughters, Aubrey, Morley and Bella, we began regenerative farming practices focusing on pasture-raised, rare heritage breeds. As the girls grew up and moved on to their own adventures, we wanted to share the beauty of the farm and the land with others, and so our venture into accommodation started. Big River Retreat  @cromwellfarmstaysandgetaways Each of the four properties offers something different; what qualities tie them together? We’ve always talked about consistency throughout all of the properties, ensuring that each property has the same homely, rustic feel and the ‘Cromwell energy’. Quality and attention to detail are a real focus for us and ensure our unique characteristics shine. Do you have a favourite property? Why does this one appeal to you the most? Alison: The Farm House. This is the family home; it’s full of our history and such wonderful memories. If we ever choose to stay at one of the properties, it’s always this one, and still where we celebrate special occasions like birthdays or Christmases. Farm House @cromwellfarmstaysandgetaways Greg: The Farm House is where it all began for us; as Al said, it holds all our most wonderful memories. We raised our girls there, and it’s where we try to come back together for special occasions. We’ll be celebrating Christmas there this year, which is so special now that the girls have grown up; it gets more difficult to get everyone in the same spot. We also love that we can offer this amazing property to people so they can make their own memories. Even if their stay is short, we hope it will stick with them. We often will have guests return two, three or more times… which makes us so happy as it must hold the same magic for them, too. Middle Shed @cromwellfarmstaysandgetaways What makes a stay with Cromwell Farms unique? Alison: Our properties are all very real – we chose spaces that we’d be happy living in, and we have decorated them just so. Each property has special hand-selected vintage pieces and touches we find or take from our own collection. Communication with guests is also something we really like to get right; we try to bend over backwards to make peoples’ stays as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. Alison: Our Airbnbs are affordable, especially for what you get, where they’re located and how they’re set up. And they’re accessible to a broader segment of the community – for example, families, couples, and large groups of friends. We provide organic Australian bathroom products, fabulous linen, a minibar, recipe suggestions and handbooks.  We’ve recently stocked our kitchens with top-quality staples such as Alto olive oil, spices, beautiful organic teas, local coffee and French sugar cubes, and we have included a small recipe booklet for guests that utilises these ingredients and things we grow on our farms. We wanted to set ourselves apart with simple little touches. Big River Retreat  @cromwellfarmstaysandgetaways What do you hope your guests experience during a stay at Cromwell Farms? Alison: A relaxing getaway from their real life, somewhere they can just breathe and enjoy the spaces we’ve created. Double Crush Linen Throw in Armee/Sable, Flocca Linen Flat Sheet in Brun, Basix Linen Pillowcase in Sable/Brun, Flocca Linen Pillowcase in Armee & Sable Why have you chosen Hale Mercantile Co. linen for your properties? Alison: It’s rich and gorgeous, and you don’t need anything else when you’re using quality linen – it carries whatever furniture and fixtures you have, whether they’re secondhand, antiques or of a simple style. The space can be minimally decorated, but the linen fills the room with luxury. You can just throw them on; they can be wrinkled, and that’s a part of their charm. They’re perfect for any time of year and just so luxurious to snuggle down into, but in an earthy, rustic way that complements our properties and marries with the feeling we’re trying to exude.  Do you have a favourite style or hue within our collection? Why does this stand out? Alison: We use the same style across the properties, and we like the more muted tones and textures. I love the detail of the trim; it’s subtle. Our collection is simple, and we’ve chosen the earthiest shades for our farm properties, with more pastels and deeper shades for Ulmarra, which is by the water. And yet, all the colours work well with each other regardless. I love how you can mix and match easily – you don’t need a matching set. This ease of use is so helpful, especially when running the changeovers for multiple properties! Flocca Linen Flat Sheet in Brun You’ve been part of a film (Green is the New Black), Greg has a food podcast, and you’re managing four properties. What’s next? Greg: I’ve always got a thousand things on the go and another thousand ideas in my head. We (along with our dear friend and business partner Jay O’Harae) recently bought a butcher shop in Mullumbimby; we’re working hard to refine that without losing the charm and loyal customer base we bought into. We’re also focusing on Glenugie, our new home and ever-evolving property.  We’ve got our Dexter cattle, black pigs, chooks, horses and dogs to keep us busy, but the idea of releasing small sections of the property for stays is always in the back of my mind – as well as offering its stunning backdrop for larger events such as weddings. And the pull of Canada [where the couple owns a fifth accommodation property] is always there; I try to get back a few times a year.  Middle Shed @cromwellfarmstaysandgetaways For more details or to book your next stay, visit cromwellfarms.com

Vineyard home: @arielashe of @ashe_leandro I Photography:  @shadedeggesphotography I Published: @archdigest I Featured: Flocca Linen Blanket in Ayrton, Basix Linen Pillowcase in Petra While this classic look may take different forms, comfort is always at the heart of New England style. Whether on the deck basking in a salty summer breeze or curled up by the fireplace on a wintry night, simple pleasures inspire a relaxed aesthetic that offers practical, pared-back spaces layered with softness and character.  From coastal plains and rivers to dense forests and rolling hills, the New England region is as diverse as it is beautiful, comprising six states in the northeast corner of the USA including Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Vermont. This regional variety has resulted in several interpretations of New England style, each taking inspiration from the surrounding natural landscape, architecture and lifestyle – from the rustic, whitewashed coastal cottages of Maine to the classic Colonial farmhouses of Connecticut.  Vineyard home: @arielashe of @ashe_leandro I Photography: @shadedeggsphotography I Published: @archdigest Architectural elements have evolved, beginning with the early 17th century settlement of the Pilgrims whose simple homes were modelled from the traditional English cottage and feature thatched roofs, earth floors and handmade clay walls. In the 1700s, as populations and families grew, Colonial design brought two-storey homes with multiple rooms and a central chimney, featuring hand-hewn timber beams and natural stone floors. Waves of European settlement saw those with maritime ties introduce fishing as well as farming, and a focus on seaside pursuits (and shiplap panelling) sat alongside agrarian life.   Flocca Linen Blanket in Elk, Basix Linen Coverlet in Ayrton, Double Linen Crush Throw in Kali/Petra, Basix Stripe Linen Pillow in Sable/Nox, Flocca Linen Pillow in Armee, Basix Linen Pillowcase in Kali Warm summers and chilly winters mean layering is key in New England, with tonal linen combinations ensuring transeasonal ease and a bedscape that is cosy and inviting year-round. Calming shades of white offer an adaptable backdrop for classic hues inspired by the landscape, with rich, warm tones reminiscent of an autumn drive through the countryside while sky blue and sandy beige evoke a fresh coastal vista. An earthy, understated palette is complemented with floral patterns and nature motifs to add colour and character, while subtle stripes lend a nautical nod. Weston, Connnecticut home of James Cregan & Micheal Amigron I Photography: @katesjordan I Published: @archdigest With an emphasis on cosiness and well-worn pieces that offer both beauty and function, New England style has been widely embraced as we spend more time at home, and those feeling overwhelmed by technology and social media are finding comfort in spaces that invite a slower pace. Choosing timeless heirloom pieces that exude character and quality will provide the fuss-free elegance necessary to achieve this look. Salisbury CT house: @workstead I Photography: @reed.bryant Whether your ideal interior aesthetic is that of a windswept coastal cottage or a rustic mountain cabin, maximalist or pared-back, embracing the classic elements of New England style – an alluring balance of natural, hardwearing materials and soft, textural layers – will work beautifully to ensure comfort and warmth in any space. 

Harmony is key to any design scheme, however contrast is just as important for creating a space with visual interest. Pair elements with opposing features – such as striking color combinations, playful shapes and accents, and rich textural variation – to achieve balance and unique style. While our range is specifically designed to mix and match with ease, it can also offer beautiful combinations and contrasts. High-quality pure linen lends an adaptable backdrop for patterns and bold touches, and starting with a timeless colour palette as your foundation will take the effort out of creating an inviting bedroom, tablescape, or living space. Tablescape: @imperialerskineville I Interior: @alexander_andco I Photography: @smartanson I Featured: Flocca Linen Tablecloth in Rosa Opposites attract Consider how to offset your table setting or bedscape with contrasting walls or furnishings. Decorating with colours from the opposite side of the spectrum (red and blue or purple and orange, for example) can help to highlight your favourite hue or feature in a room. If you'd prefer a tonal scheme and still want to make an impact, create one cohesive look with variations of the same shade (blues or browns, for example) and juxtapose them against walls that are painted maroon, or go for a monochrome mix for a simple yet striking look.

To contrast boxy shapes and angular lines, soft curves can also be introduced through furniture, artwork and mirrors.   Basix Stripe Pilllow in Carmel/Tempest

Seasonal tablescapes A shift in seasons presents the perfect opportunity to reimagine your table setting for the months ahead, taking inspiration from nature's changing palette and introducing textural layers and luxurious accents that bring a sense of occasion to every meal. Flocca Linen Tablecloth in Fog, Basix Linen Napkin in Fog SPRING  There is no better time to invite the outdoors in, as abundant flowers offer up their colour and scent to enliven your festive table. Gather an assortment of smaller vases, adding a delicate bloom to each, or place a trail of jasmine along your runner as a fragrant centrepiece. Crockery in a simple glaze will keep the focus on the food and foliage, while a pure linen tablecloth in a fresh spring hue can be layered effortlessly with nature-inspired hues.  Basix Linen Napkin in Ayrton/Russo SUMMER  Long, balmy days call for a light and airy setting, with soft, warm neutrals such as Ayrton and Petra providing an effortless backdrop for earthy dinnerware and fuss-free decorations.   Flocca Linen Tablecloth in Russo  AUTUMN /FALL From reddish-brown russet to burnt orange and ochre, the changing hues of the landscape at this magical time of year are the perfect complement to a warm, rich and earthy palette inside your home. Draping layers of pure linen in Russo, Carmel and Brun reflect the falling leaves outside, while natural, organic crockery and share platters encourage relaxed, family-style eating. As a finishing touch, polished pieces such as a candlestick or cutlery in copper or brass add elevated accents.  Flocca Linen Tablecloth in Bere, Basix Linen Napkin, Basix Linen Runner WINTER  When the temperature drops, keep your tablescape cosy by shifting the palette away from the fresh whites of summer to rich, earthy hues and a touch of understated glamour and grandeur. For warm gatherings and intimate dinners, add a hint of structure with folded napery or napkin rings, creating a moody sense of ambience with candlelight and introducing natural, tactile accents such as pinecones for an understated festive touch.
